jazzbo Posted February 8, 2014 Report Posted February 8, 2014 A second time through Stellar Space has me more impressed with the souind than the first time through. Some of this music is just near trance-inducing. Definitely a new mastering and expertly done. Quote
Late Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 I got in a copy of Stellar Regions SHM-CD. May I ask where you ordered your copy from? (Amazon?) CD Japan recently cancelled my order for this disc. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 10, 2014 Report Posted February 10, 2014 I had it ordered from cdjapan. They didn't cancel it but gave me the "long time to find"message so I got one from ebay. Quote
jazzbo Posted February 11, 2014 Report Posted February 11, 2014 I got in "Living Space." I would wager the same engineer as "Stellar Regions." Enjoying revisiting it. Quote

erwbol Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 I ordered the SHM of Archie Shepp's Attica Blues. It was missing from my collection anyway, and I'm curious to know if it'll be as excellent as some of the Coltrane SHMs from this batch. Quote
jazzbo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 These have been hard to get. . . I wasn't able to get a few (most notably Live in Seatle, want that but it is never delivered). . . though I did get two copies of Interstellar Space! (Will sell one). Quote
erwbol Posted May 5, 2014 Author Report Posted May 5, 2014 (edited) I ordered the Archie Shepp from a French seller called .... It did not come cheap. Edited May 21, 2014 by erwbol Quote
jazzbo Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 I can see it didn't come cheap! He doesn't have Live in Seatle though. Quote
etherbored Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 nice logo. rumor has it that the extra 't' in 'seattle' is free of charge this week... Quote
mjzee Posted May 5, 2014 Report Posted May 5, 2014 Are there any Impulse Coltranes currently available in mono? Quote
erwbol Posted May 21, 2014 Author Report Posted May 21, 2014 I ordered the Archie Shepp from a French seller called .... It did not come cheap. This morning I filed a PayPal claim against Jazzybird. The registered package never shipped, and the seller failed to respond to my emails. I would normally not have mentioned this, however, I posted a link to this seller's website on 5 May. This morning I edited out the link and seller's name, but the link had been up for 16 days. Quote
monkboughtlunch Posted June 1, 2014 Report Posted June 1, 2014 What's the best sounding Crescent on CD? Quote
erwbol Posted June 1, 2014 Author Report Posted June 1, 2014 Sadly, there isn't a really outstanding version on CD. The recent Impulse Originals is way too loud and pumped up imo. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 2, 2014 Report Posted June 2, 2014 I think this one is the best I've heard: UCCU-6133 Released July, 2011, SHM-CD. Quote
erwbol Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 I found an Australian jazz record store (Sydney) that had a copy of Archie Shepp's Attica Blues in stock (confirmed by e-mail). Unfortunately, he didn't have that Coltrane title (Seattle) you were after, Lon. Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 Thanks. Obviously I've lived just fine without it. In about five years there will be some other super-reissue of it! Quote
erwbol Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 Sure, late Coltrane is immortal. People in the sixties might have had trouble accepting that music given what came before, but I'm sure that for later generations there will be no such controversy. Quote
monkboughtlunch Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 I think this one is the best I've heard: UCCU-6133 Released July, 2011, SHM-CD. Is that SKU a Japanese repressing of the 2008 US Originals remaster? Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 No, in comparison they are different masterings to my ears. Quote
erwbol Posted June 10, 2014 Author Report Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) It is a Japanese repressing of the 2008 US Originals remaster. I verified this by making a secure rip and comparing CRC32 hash codes. Of course if you are of the opinion that the Super High Material (SHM) produces a difference in sound quality, it might sound different to you. It did not to me on my Sennheiser HD650 headphones system. I would advise against purchasing that disc. The reason a lot of SHMs sound good are the new masterings. SHMs that copy US masterings are only of interest to people who are convinced they can hear the difference on their high end system. Edited June 10, 2014 by erwbol Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) Well I guess I didn't compare them directly. Sounded different to me from my memory of the US,* anyway of the digital copies I have this one is my favorite. I do NOT listen on headphones, just abhor that. *I'd have to look closely at release dates, and I'm not inclined at the moment, but it may be more accurate to say that the US release is a copy of a Japanese release a bit earlier; I have several other Japanese releases that seem to have their Reeves masterings "borrowed" for the US version.

That could be so, Lon. What other way is there for the Japanese to use the original master tapes? Perhaps these late Coltrane SHMs from October 2011 were mastered in the US for the Japanese market like the Prestige 7000 SHMs? Edited June 10, 2014 by erwbol Quote
jazzbo Posted June 10, 2014 Report Posted June 10, 2014 (edited) More likely they were mastered in Japan from the tapes sent by Reeves for the 24-bit reissues that appeared in Japan (I have a few in lp-facsimile edition, don't know if they were ever in jewel box) earlier than 2011, before the Impulse Album boxes were released. . . .Or that would be my guess. Anyway, not knowing if the Japanese tweak things for SHM-CD mastering or just do a straight transfer to the SHM-CD process, I DO find that I hear differences between SHM-CD and other pressings. Maybe it's system dependent (I have a killer transport) or maybe it's just my imagining, but more often than not there's a "less digital" sound to the SHM-CD in cmparison for me.
